Choral Society Tuesday Before Ens?
tor.
The Laurcns Choral Society is hav
ing practices several times each week
in preparation for the rendition of the
sacred cantata "King of Israel" Tues
day evening April 2nd, which Is next
Tuesday. Though the cantata is not
quite as long as was "Saul," given
some lime ago, those who have heard
tho practices speak vorj cnthusiastlc
ly as to its merits. Several new voic
es will be heard in the principal roles
this time, thus adding much to the
interest in the presentation.
The proceeds from this entertain
ment are to go to the Kings Daughters.
One of the membeis of this society,
in speaking of Its work, stated that
a very heavy drain had been made on
the treasury during the past winter
with the result that the funds are
very low. For this reason It is es
pecially desirable that a large num
ber attend the cantata and contribute
liberally at the special offering. No
admission fee will be charged. The
cantata will be sung In the Methodist
church,
Tho cantata Is under tho direction
of Mr. Charles H. Hicks, Mrs. Micks
playing the aocornpanyments on tho
large organ at the church.
As the cantata gives promise of be
ing such a musical treat, It is hoped
by the ladles that there will bo a
splendid attendance.

GUILE OF DRONGO CUCKOO
Protected ty Its Reccmbl.ince to
Pugnacious Shrike, It Lays Its
Eggs Where It Pleases.
A striking example of protective
coloring in birds has just been added
to tho collection of tho Brooklyn In
Btltuto M1180011) In tho iorni of a
drongo shrike and n drongo cuckoo.
The shrlko is a bird of pugnacious
disposition, especially at the nesting
season, when It guards Its nest with,
for a small bird, great ferocity Doug
las Dfwar. from whom this account
Is taken, says that ho has watched a
pair of these litte birds attack and
drive away a monkey which tried to
climb Into the tree In which their
nest was placed. Indeed, so able a
fighter Is Hie shrike that some other
birds, notably orioles and doves, fre
quently build their nests In the sain*
tree In order to share the benefit of
bis prowess
The drongo cuckoo lays Its < >? gfl
in Hie m sts of such birds as the king
crow. These are pugnacious, even
ferocious, und without some guile a
cuckoo could not accomplish this feat.
Hut the drongo cuckoo la so like tho
drongo shrike, even having the same
odd twist to its tail feathers, that the \
king crow la deceived by tho i . sem
blance ;md hesitates to give flghl to
what she lakes to be one of the pug.

Not long since tho driver of the en

only stood and harked furiously at tho
approaching engine, still on, on, <>n,
Came the train, find still there stood
the dog, more furiouB than before. Tho
train passed, and at the next station
It. was noticed that a part of a dress
was clinging to the wheel guard. A
mcssonger was sent back, when a
dead child was found, which had evi
dently fallen asleep, and whom the
noble dog tried to protect to the \ery
last, giving his very life sooner than
flinch from his trust.
